In it she said that the people who thought works were what saved them were told “I never knew you”.

Can protestants not read scripture? It was the people who did NOTHING who were cast into the outer dwrkmess. and the people who helped the sick, imprisoned, naked and hungry who were surprised that they had done anything for Christ, until He told them, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto Me>" They were saved. I'm starting to wonder about all yall. Can't you see you've gotten it exactly backward?

You do realize, don't you, that you are mixing up your passages. The verses that speak about those who would tell Jesus, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?" are found in Matthew 7:22-23. Jesus answers these self-satisfied "religious" people, "Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’". Those are obviously the ones that thought their works would save them, HARDLY nothing.

But the verses in Matthew 25:30-50, speak of the sheep and goats. Try to keep things straight, okay?

Actually, Jesus never said that those labeled goats did nothing. They could have been as religious as all get out.

Matter of fact, a lot of people will appeal to good works and Jesus will say He didn’t know them.
